Tinubu Government urges Nigerians to consider bicycles for transportation
The Federal Ministry of
Transportation has urged Nigerians to consider bicycles as an alternative means
of commuting.
Musa Ibrahim, the Director,
Road Transport and Mass Transit Administration, stated this during the
stakeholders sensitization meeting in Abuja.
Speaking on the
importance of cycling in the country, the director explained that it will
obviously reduce road crash incidences.
Ibrahim added that “World
Bicycle Day recognises the uniqueness, longevity and versatility of the bicycle
as a simple, affordable, reliable, clean and environmentally fit sustainable
means of transport, fostering environmental stewardship and health”, Vanguard

“Equally, proponents have
encouraged the use of bicycles as a means of eradicating poverty, strengthening
physical education, promoting health, and facilitating social inclusion”, the
director stated.
